My bro (FunktasticVR6) works for Saturn. He thinks they're all right, I don't see him trading out the 'Rado for one anytime soon though ;)

had a good time at the event. the 08 Rabbit pwnd all the cars there (08 astra, 08 mazda 3, and 08 civic).

Food was pretty good (hot wings FTW!).

Best handling:
1. 08 Rabbit
2. 08 Astra
3. 08 Mazda 3
-4. 08 Civic
Best Acceleration:
1. 08 Rabbit
2. 08 Mazda 3
3. 08 Astra
-4. 08 Civic


Leo (karmakid) almost killed us on one of the runs when we all piled in the car lol.
i guess he got us back because when i ran first with everyone in the astra, his seatbelt didn't work for the back seats and he was getting tossed.. :p

none the less, i think we all had a good time and thanks to Saturn for letting us test drive. :)

It was actually an 07 Rabbit... because it had the 150HP 2.5 engine instead of the 08's 170HP 2.5 engine. And that civic was just AWFUL!!!!

I don't want to be a dick or anything like that but I work for Saturn and Opel is actually owned by GM so pertty much Opel=Saturn here in the states... look at the Saturn Sky and the Opel GT they are the exact same but with different badging...I am going to Orange county on thrusday to drive the Astra to see how it holds up with me behind the wheel.....
